In a study covering 2002-2008, the Environmental Law Institute concluded that federal energy subsidies favored fossil fuels over renewables by a wide margin. Moreover, more than half the renewable subsidies went to corn-based ethanol.
• The vast majority of federal subsidies for fossil fuels and renewable energy supported energy sources that emit high levels of greenhouse gases when used as fuel.
• The federal government provided substantially larger subsidies to fossil fuels than to renewables. Subsidies to fossil fuels—a mature, developed industry that has enjoyed government support for many years—totaled approximately $72 billion over the study period, representing a direct cost to taxpayers.
• Subsidies for renewable fuels, a relatively young and developing industry, totaled $29 billion over the same period.
• Subsidies to fossil fuels generally increased over the study period (though they decreased in 2008), while funding for renewables increased but saw a precipitous drop in 2006-07 (though they increased in 2008). The largest subsidies to fossil fuels were written into the U.S. Tax Code as permanent provisions. By comparison, many subsidies for renewables are time-limited initiatives implemented through energy bills, with expiration dates that limit their usefulness to the renewables industry.
• The vast majority of subsidy dollars to fossil fuels can be attributed to just a handful of tax breaks, such as the Foreign Tax Credit ($15.3 billion) and the Credit for Production of Nonconventional Fuels ($14.1 billion, though this credit has since been phased out). The largest of these, the Foreign Tax Credit, applies to the overseas production of oil through an obscure provision of the Tax Code, which allows energy companies to claim a tax credit for payments that would normally receive less-beneficial tax treatment.

Crashing Vor gave us a good warning in "Over": "BP's new well cap is in place and pressure tests have begun, with very appropriate caution. If the tests indicate that the well bore and casings have sufficient integrity to withstand the internal pressures of the well, there is a chance that the spigot may get turned off this week.As wonderful as that news is, it will bring a chorus of sighs from the media, the government, the oil industry and well-meaning Gulf Coast residents, a chorus singing, 'It's over!' That chorus will echo throughout the mediasphere. And it will be dead wrong."
In the EcoAdvocates series, Patriot Daily News Clearinghouse offered some hope that Obama May Reverse Bush on Indigenous Rights: "Bush voted against UNDRIP (the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples) ostensibly because the declaration was subject to 'conflicting interpretations and debate about its application' and therefore not 'capable of implementation.' If this standard applied to the U.S. Constitution, it would not exist. In reality, Bush did not like that UNDRIP recognizes a range of rights that address corporate and governmental plundering of resources as well as abuse and discrimination. Elections have consequences. President Obama recognizes that UNDRIP provides a framework for addressing the rights of indigenous peoples so he is now reviewing whether the U.S. should join 144 other countries with its endorsement."
greendem informed us about Moms Turned Mountaineers in Climb Against Coal: "We are four Washington moms, who, on Saturday July 17, will attempt to summit Mount Rainier with a message for our Governor. Our Climb Against Coal challenges Governor Gregoire to close Washington’s largest toxic polluter and point source of deadly carbon: the TransAlta coal-fired power plant in Centralia."
Food, Agriculture & Gardening
BorderJumpers had a conversation About Organic Agriculture with Chuck Benbrook: "Dr. Charles Benbrook is Chief Scientist at the Organic Center."
BorderJumpers also wrote about Beating the Heat to Reduce Post-Harvest Waste: "For a farmer in a hot country like Sudan, a big harvest can end up being just a big waste. A fresh tomato off the vine will only last about 2 days in the stifling heat, while carrots and okra might last only 4 days. Despite being perfectly capable of producing abundant harvests, without any means to store and preserve crops, farmers in Sudan are at risk for hunger and starvation. They are also losing money that could be made by selling surplus produce at markets if they had a way to keep vegetables longer. The organization, Practical Action—a development non-profit that uses technology to help people gain access to basic services like clean water, and sanitation and to improve food production and incomes— provides a simple solution to this problem in the form of homemade clay refrigerators."
Storytelling, Poems, Music, Art, Snark
Knucklehead presented some more photos of items in his tanks in GULF COAST 4: "I`m back with more underwater images in support of the gulf coast, it`s inhabitants above & below the surface, & to all who`ve worked so hard to keep the daily developments on the front pages."
ShawnGBR snarked us with the inside skinny on What REALLY happened at the oilcano site...: "Here are the REAL DETAILS of the Deepwater Horizon accident. Keep this information alive. I know they're after me and it's just a matter of time."
Cautious Man clued us into some music Steve Forbert's up-to-the-minute "Oil Song.": "Steve Forbert performed on Sunday in my little town of Maplewood, NJ. We have an annual 'Maplewoodstock' festival, and Mr. Forbert closed out the last night. I thought that others would enjoy his "up to the minute" version of his 'Oil Song,' addressing the current leak in the gulf."
Energy & Transportation
Lowell Feld NRDC Action Fund wrote that it's Time to Unleash American Innovation on Energy and Climate: "BP's oil gusher has induced a collective sense of helplessness, and even despair, in many Americans, while underscoring our country’s long-standing failure to develop a serious national energy policy. But helplessness and despair are precisely the wrong reactions to the worst environmental catastrophe in U.S. history."
fjgallagher lamented that US Chamber of Commerce Astroturfs to Kill Mine Safety Bill: "H.R. 5663, the Miner Safety and Health Act, would beef up the regulatory agencies that oversee workplace safety – the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Mine Safety and Health Administration – providing for, among other things, increased civil and criminal penalties for repeated, willful violations of workplace safety regulations; stronger protections for whistleblowers who call attention to unsafe working conditions; and a seat at the table for victims and survivors by allowing them to participate in the hearing process."
Richard Lyon wrote a pair of diaries on the same subject, The Smart Grid: Google Arrives: "What Google is attempting to do is to be a connecting point for consumers, power utilities and manufactures of smart energy using appliances. It is a project that is in it's infancy. They are attempting to establish partnerships with utilities and manufactures. You can see from this list that they have made limited progress in that effort."
And The Smart Grid: Smart Pricing: "Smart grid technology offers consumers the opportunity to become active participants in the management of their power costs. It seems fairly certain that the rates for energy will be on the rise. People are likely to have a greater interest in ways to control those increases. Looking at the possibilities for implementation of such schemes requires an understanding of the economics of the electrical power industry."
Another pair of diaries on the same subject came from Christian Dem in NC regarding the West Virginia mining disaster. First was Upper Big Branch electrician ordered to disable safety monitor: "Two months before the Upper Big Branch explosion,an electrician was ordered to disable a key safety device. On Feb. 13, an electrician deliberately disabled a methane gas monitor on a continuous mining machine because the monitor repeatedly shut down the machine. Three witnesses say the electrician was ordered by a mine supervisor to "bridge" the automatic shutoff mechanism in the monitor.
Followed by Upper Big Branch methane detectors disabled on a regular basis: "In a follow-up to revelations that an electrician at Upper Big Branch was ordered to disable a methane monitor so they could keep running coal (diaried here), this morning we learn that methane monitors were disabled on a regular basis."
Unenergy discussed how solar electricity is making advances in Shine, Baby, Shine - JR goes solar: "Unlike the rapid development and adoption of kerosene and then electricity for lighting which drove the coal and oil industries expansion, photovoltaics have taken a little more time to gain a major foothold in energy markets. Despite being developed to a commercial product in 1954 by Bell Labs, again with America leading the way with some level of government support, because it had the potential to disrupt the existing energy (fossil fuel) industry business model, solar power has struggled to make the sort of rapid headway which both oil and coal enjoyed."
rperks let us know that She Won't Back Down: Ashley Judd Defies Critics, Continues to Blast Mountaintop Removal: "Today in The Hill, a quintessential inside-the-Beltway political newspaper, Ashley Judd scores a scathing commentary on one of the causes she cares most about: the campaign to abolish mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia."
Ask 4 Questions wrote an update on the Utah Synapse study: "The question I would like to ask the community is, as we discuss our response to this study, does anyone have examples they can point me to of successful actual displacement of coal power with renewables/energy efficiency?"
Mr. Hands-On, known around these parts as gmoke informed us about the latest Weatherization Barnraising Results: "HEET has been doing monthly weatherization barnraisings since the summer of 2008 and are looking for new homes to weatherize. Cambridge is not the only community doing weatherization barnraisings. HEET now has links to some 25 groups."
gospelle briefly deconstructed critics of the Drilling Ban - Air Crash analogy. If you make it, make it right!: "First off, the drilling under the ban applies to a few dozen rigs. The producing rigs (numbering in the thousands) are not affected. Shallow water drilling is not affected. Isn't this EXACTLY what happens during an air crash investigation?? Similar, at risk planes are grounded, while unaffected craft continue operation."
Animals
chesterdog focused on the Gulf gusher's Ongoing Disaster for Birds & Wildlife: "Like crude oil, scientific comparisons can be slippery, as Environmental Defense Fund scientist Stacy Small wrote in yesterday’s Miami Herald. Frequent media comparisons of the official bird death toll to-date from the BP oil disaster to that of the Exxon Valdez tragedy give the false impression that the Gulf disaster is clearly less of a catastrophe for birds."
Cenobyte explored Sustainability and the oceans: "As if our trashing of the oceans weren't enough, as though the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the Atlantic Garbage Patch, and the other garbage patches weren't enough, as if our stupid pertoleum demands leading directly to the BP oil gusher that destrying the Gulf as we speak weren't enough, we are also, through human pressure, driving dolphins in the Mediterranean toward extinction via more than 700 fish-farm pens dumping concentrated waste into the sea and the practice of some countries of dumping raw sewage into their rivers and the Med."
Forests & the Great Outdoors
vc2 announced some great environment news: Illegal logging down across the globe: "A report released this week shows fantastic news for all who have fought for the animals, the people, and the planet. Illegal logging is down 25% across the board since 2002."
Round-ups, Wrap-ups & Digests
eKos: Spill-eating microbes spike- eKos EarthShip Wednesday: "The number of naturally occurring microbes that eat methane grew surprisingly fast inside a plume spreading from BP's ruptured oil well, an oceanographer who was one of the first to detect the plumes said Tuesday. Samantha Joye, a marine sciences professor at the University of Georgia at Athens, said it's good news that the microbes are eating the methane. However, the microbes also use oxygen in the water, and Joye said the repercussions of the resulting oxygen depletion aren't yet known."
eKos: poop piki piki poop friday earthship: "Since motorbikes or pikis pikis are the taxis of Kenya, one local eco-entrepreneur reconfigured his vehicle to transport cow dung from over long distances to fire up his home's biogas digester... makes perfect sense to do a little tinkering and move the poop efficiently."
Eco-Philosophy, & Eco-Policy
citizen k looked into Why the free market rejects green energy and manufacturing: "When conservatives talk of 'the market,' they mean the collective decision of investors. The Obama administration is lending to build electric cars and batteries. a total of $8 billion in loan commitments, including a whopping $5.9 billion to help Ford retool factories in Kentucky, Michigan [..], Illinois, Missouri and Ohio to produce 13 "more fuel-efficient models." Nissan North America is getting $1.6 billion to retool its Smyrna, Tenn., factory to build electric cars and batteries. Secretary Chu of DOE blew away a bunch of red-tape to make these investments, but the 'professional money managers' of the retirement funds of California public employees were too busy losing money on real-estate speculation, like $500,000,000 for throwing middle class New Yorkers out of their homes, to invest in making electric cars in California."
Reverend Billy waxed philosophic in The Facts Vs. The Earth: "With Consumerism the system, there are always levels of secrecy behind the flash. When Steve Jobs gets up on the stage he is our modern magician, but he conceals a vast sweatshop empire that is kept out of sight - until last month when the 12th suicide this year at one Chinese facility finally stopped his iPad cold. He was forced to insist that the iPad is not made in sweatshops, and began to define the term absurdly, comparing his factories with California high schools. OUR FACTORIES ARE NOT SWEATSHOPS, he said, and as weird as his explanation was - his "sweatshop" seemed an objectively defined entity with a panel of experts to absolve him."
In another installment of Village Green, Kaid at NRDC wrote about 'Urban Farming' that Is Really Urban: "Whether it's called 'urban farming,' 'agricultural urbanism,' or by the seriously awkward word 'rurbalization,' it's all the rage. And, on his excellent blog Discovering Urbanism, Daniel Nairn proposes a model for a ‘garden city block’ that integrates agriculture into city fabric in a really nice way. I’m especially happy to see this, because some (definitely not all) of the contexts in which this sort of thing is presented can be troublesome if you believe, as I do, that keeping our developed regions compact, and our rural landscape rural, are important to sustainability and conservation of our heritage."
Why can't they just say it? Clean energy = jobs asked piratedan: "I don't understand the reluctance here, renewable clean energy means jobs, it simply does and why in the hell hasn't anyone just stood up and told the American people that is exactly what it means. Why does it mean jobs? because we have too much dependance upon coal and oil and moving away from those means that we have to build new plants, new systems of getting the power into the grid and to the public. I'd even suggest that the people who work in coal and oil be given first dibs on the new jobs that are created."
Another Dan, TeenAdvocateDan, provided some interesting, some would say, disturbing statistics for World Population Week Blog-a-thon: "Did you know...half of the world’s population-nearly 3 billion people-are under the age of 25? And Consider this: One out of every four people diagnosed with HIV is between ages 13 and 29, and 45 percent of new HIV infections are among young people ages 15-24. Young people are the second highest uninsured demographic in the United States. In the United States, nearly one million young women under age 20 become pregnant each year. Worldwide, for young women ages 15 to 19 in low-and middle-income countries, complications from pregnancy are the leading cause of death."
sfzendog argued that The Third World now includes the Gulf of Mexico: "The United States needs a Manhattan Project scaled response to this disaster. When convenience and 'cheap' poison the well we drink from, it is time to scale back on both. Where is the leadership calling for massive social response and responsibility? Perhaps de-regulating some other industry."
Based on previous instances, such as the Exxon Valdez disaster,
ChrisFromMaine figuredBP is going to get away with this: "After BP caps the well next month, this story will fade away. The corporate media will move on to the next "big story' (probably the midterms) and the BP oil spill will be just another 'remember when that happened' and most people will just forget the horrors of the BP oil disaster."
Eco-Action & Eco-Justice
oregonj let us know that Six Senators have asked Leahy to Investigate Oil-soaked Federal Judges: "Our quintessential oil-soaked judge, Judge Martin Feldman - New Orleans - ruled against Obama's deepwater drilling moratorium on June 1, 2010. Why did he issue such a broad injunction? Some Senators now want to find out, and have requested further investigation in a letter to Senator Patrick Leahy, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee."
jamess told us that BP has a Jobs Plan -- They want to Buy the Scientists: "National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), who is filing suit, on behave of the Gulf Coast Eco-systems, has blown the whistle, on this questionable effort by BP to corral up all the local Marine Scientists, to their side of the Legal ledger. NRDC, has no problem, with the Funding of the Scientific Studies, per se -- just with BP's insistence on Veto Power over those Study's results."
Forrest Brown urged us to add to the Momentum on BP Respirators!: "Since we launched BP Makes Me Sick last Thursday with 35 Gulf partners, we have continued to gain momentum in our campaign to protect Gulf oil spill workers. More than 66,000 people have joined our coalition, and last friday Keith Olbermann featured our coalition on the air. But to amp up the pressure on BP we need to reach 75,000 signers."
A Siegel urged us to be part of an historic date, 10/10/10/10/10: "On 10 October 2010 (10/10/10), mobilized due to the energy of the 350.org team, people around the world will gather to show their support for climate action by leaders, nation, and people around the world."
Bruce Nilles explained that Big Cities Want Big Changes in Energy: "Today in the Windy City, more than 50 local and national organizations, joined by local community members and elected leaders kicked off a ward by ward effort. 'Like many working-class communities of color around the country, Pilsen (a Chicago neighborhood) is inundated with multiple pollution sources, the worst of which is the Fisk plant,' said Jerry Mead-Lucero, member of Pilsen Environmental Rights and Reform Organization (PERRO), 'Your race or class should not determine whether or not you have a healthy environment in which to live.'"
Politicians
A Siegel had some harsh words for a certain Democratic Senator in Hey, Twit Claire, we don't have "50 years" ...: "Senator Claire McCaskill, who has been anything but a shining star on thoughtful thinking for creating a prosperous and climate-friendly America, has let loose with another doozy. 'I think it’s still a work in progress,' said Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, who worries that a cap would be a loser for Democrats in November. 'You know, it took 50 years on health care.' ... Study after study from reputable organizations show that Americans (and Missourians) would be net winners from sensible clean-energy/climate-mitigation legislation ... without even accounting for improved health, improved productivity (in part due to fewer sick days), and reduced damage from climate change (and reduced risks of catastrophic climate change)."
Lowell Feld NRDC Action Fund had some harsh words for a different Democratic Senator in No, Senator Klobuchar, More Corn Ethanol is NOT the Answer!: "According to The Hill newspaper, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) 'is introducing legislation to expand use of renewable electricity and transportation fuels that she says is a way to increase political support for broad energy legislation among farm-state lawmakers.' Reuters adds that Klobuchar's legislation would promote 'a long-term extension of biofuel tax breaks.' Klobuchar says, 'it is time to look at home-grown energy and that includes biofuels and they should be part of this.' At first glance, that all sounds innocuous enough, but there's a major problem: Sen. Klobuchar is (cleverly) baiting the hook with a strong Renewable Energy Standard, which most environmentalists support, but at the same time she's also including the worst of the worst biofuels proposals – corn ethanol."
Brainwrap had some harsh words for a Republican Congressman MI-08: Mike Rogers wants to drill in the Great Lakes too.: "Yesterday there was a front-page diary about how the teabagger GOP Senate candidate running against Russ Feingold in Wisconsin, Ron Johnson, is openly calling for drilling for oil in the Great Lakes, even in the middle of the worst environmental disaster in the nations' history. Well, guess what? Johnson isn't alone in this asinine idea. In Michigan's 8th district, Mike Rogers, the incumbent GOP Congressman who actually tried to blaming Pres. Obama for Gen. McChrystal's insults in Rolling Stone, was responsible for the gutting of a ban on drilling in the Great Lakes 5 years ago."
JSc also took on that subject, wondering if certain politicians are truly serious about Oil Drilling in the Great Lakes? "We Drink This!": "Most people may not be familiar with it, but there's one HUGE difference between the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico and one in the Great Lakes. Short version? The Gulf contains salt water, and very few individuals or communities depend on it for drinking water."
Heather Taylor Miesle NRDC Action Fund explained some lessons from what she called the "Enlightened Eight" in Republicans Can Vote Pro-Environment and Not Get "Tea Partied": "Republicans voting for cap and trade in the year of the Tea Party? You'd think that they'd be dumped in the harbor by now. Instead, they're all doing fine. In fact, to date, not a single one of these Republicans has been successfully primaried by the "tea party" (or otherwise). Instead, we have two - Castle and Kirk - running for U.S. Senate, one (McHugh) who was appointed Secretary of the Army by President Obama, and five others - Bono-Mack, LoBiondo, Lance, Reichert, Smith - running for reelection."
seethruit had some problems with anonymity in Government Scientists vs. the Obama Administration : the Sound of Whistles Not Blowing: "This is not to say that the Obama administration doesn't deserve criticism for being slow to develop rules to protect scientific integrity throughout the executive branch as promised early in the administration. But Ruch's claim that 'We are getting complaints from government scientists now at the same rate we were during the Bush administration.' might be numerically accurate but it's hard to take seriously when there's no one to front the claims."
Climate Change
June Smashes Temp Record, Today may be All Time High wrote FishOutofWater: "June smashed global high temperature records according to official figures released today by the U.S. government.Moreover, unofficial satellite temperature calculations (by climate change skeptic Dr. Roy Spencer) of the lowest atmospheric layer around the earth's surface show the past 3 days may be the hottest days ever measured on earth."
Two diarists focused on a back and forth between over climate change between somebody with no formal education on the matter and an actual expert in
tomasynA Scientist Takes Down Lord Monckton: "John Abraham, a professor of thermal sciences at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, took eight months to research and produce a thorough debunking of a talk given by notorious climate-change denier Lord Christopher Monckton. Monckton, whose credentials include degrees in classics and journalism (but none in any scientific field) is a prolific producer of nonsense on climate matters. ...You can see Abraham's presentation here (it's very much worth a look): http://www.stthomas.edu/...
apeescape wrote similarly in Christopher Monckton trying to take down Prof. John Abraham's rebuttal of global warming talk: "There is a climate of confusion on global warming, as the 'Merchants of Doubt' use any non-scientific tool to delay any legislative action. When a scientist tries to right its ship by providing a thorough, scientific rebuttal, he/she risks time constraints, undue attention, accusations of libel, threats of litigation, demands for apology and retraction, etc. This is exactly what is happening to Prof. John Abraham against Christopher Monckton. To counteract the impending censorship, a website is up to Support John Abraham and St. Thomas University. Hopefully some Kossacks could leave a comment to show some support."
RLMiller explored what's going on as as Utilities Quietly Try to Gut Clean Air Act as Climate Peacocks Squawk: "David Roberts at Grist doesn't mince words: Utilities are trying to pull off the scam of the decade. If it goes through, "This deal really would do that: it would make the bill worse than nothing. It would be a step backward, on both climate and health grounds. ...So far, environmentalists are standing firm in opposing the utilities' demand."
Gulf Gusher
TrahmalG: Ban on Media Lifted, Free to Travel Within 20 meter Boom Safety Zones: "A foreign company causes a disaster on our shores and they are able to dictate to our press the terms of their coverage. It's obvious to anybody paying attention that BP here is trying to handle their already horrendous PR situation by limiting the amount of coverage on the spill and it's effects on the area. Not only that but they also aren't providing their cleanup workers adequate safety equipment. Well there's one reason you wouldn't want to have reporters documenting the response."
FishOutofWater: NOAA & BP Keep Key Oil Data from Scientists & Public: "Scientists have been refused access to key data that NOAA has given to BP. Data access is necessary to plan research, investigate damage, and assess critical environmental effects. University researchers and other independent scientists have requested data from the government so that they can track the oil and its effects on the water chemistry and ecosystem of the Gulf of Mexico, but NOAA has refused to release the data."
Darryl House: NOAA is NOT withholding data or methodology: "NOAA has been and continues to be one of the most reliable sources of accurate and timely information about the current and future effects of the Gulf Coast disaster."
Fishgrease: wrote Booming Feynman's Ghost: "Yesterday, Our Government bought in to BP's lies and maneuvering. Yesterday, Our Government approved the Integrity Test. That test is now underway. If anything bad happens, and there are many many bad things that can happen, Our Government will be visited by the Ghost of Richard Feynman."
jeremybloom: BP Pressure Test Results "Disappointing": "Despite the glowing headlines proclaiming "Gulf Oil Stops Flowing", we're not out of the woods yet. In a conference call this afternoon, retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen announced that pressure levels have NOT risen high enough in the recently-capped well."
Julie Gulden: "Mystery Plumber"????: "BP has received over 300,000 ideas from people with ideas on how to cap the well. Well, maybe, just maybe, one of those suggestions was the answer. One plumber took it upon himself to try...Just promise me, no 'Joe' jokes."
Gangster Octopus: Drill BP Drill!!: "For those out of the loop or needing a refresher, Scotland released Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in August 2009, the only convicted Lockerbie Bomber, on compassionate grounds. At the time he was expected to die, but a year later he remains alive. It has come to light that BP lobbied for his release, to what extent is not clear. In May 2007 BP signed a $900 million exploration agreement with Libya, the same month the Britain and Libya started discussions on al-Megrahi's release."
In a diary series, vets74 added two more installments about BP Oil Disaster: Ecocide Ignores the Cheering: "BP and Halliburton have committed ecocide: -- 200,000,000+ gallons of crude oil. New pollution events for 5 years. Mitigation efforts use booms, sand bars, walking around with pick-up bags, burnings and skimmers. So far... minimal environmental effect. The slaughter gets worse and worse." And here.
